Chapter 2: Singing Birds!

A trip to the school isn't fun than what I expected. Economy sure is great when something's burning right out my eyes. And there can only be one meaning about this. That just means that I am getting close to the school, since it is very bizarre if it is not. And what I meant about burning is true, there are burning flying paper balls everywhere I look. Seeing it in a bus is a good experience, but touching it would be... I don't know, who knows? It would really flare up your experience I guess.

The sight is extraordinary, flaming balls of paper included. Once you reach the vicinity of the hidden area, you'll eventually find it attractive. And apparently, if a normal person walked here unintended, they'll see a normal road because of some "illusion" spells they have here. But still, this place never cease to amaze me. The area is unsullied, dirt-free and looks very fresh.

"Are you new here?" someone suddenly questioned. Actually, I never noticed that there are person here. Shouldn't this be hidden? Never mind, this is a bus for students for the school I was going to. I was just acting like a scarecrow.

I looked at the person and it got me pretty bad. It was a girl, and I am pretty bad with girls. All the girls I met are pretty scary.

"Yeah," I answered then looked away, watching the scenery again.

"Oh, I see. Can I sit beside you then?" she asked. I got surprised, but I remained silent and only gave a nod.

"You look somewhat appetizing," she mumbled which gave me a cold sweat running down my face.

"What do you mean?" my voiced sound tense, peeked at her again, but she looks clueless. I sighed, what a sudden change of feelings. "Who are you anyway?"

"I'm Viera, a rank B vampire. Nice to meet you, new student," her voice sounds chilling it offered me goosebumps. But nothing surprises me now. She looks ordinary, like others was.

"Ehh.. rank B, huh? So, what does a vampire need for me?" I placed my elbow near the window and put my hands around my chin while staring outside.

"Nothing, I just searched for a seat," can you not please sound very obvious? Of course, that was just a thought, but I never get her.

I should just keep quiet, should I?

I was filled with thoughts, and one of those was her appearance. She had the ominous feeling an ordinary person wouldn't have. Her face appeared deceiving, but beautiful if you take it by standards. Her skin is pale, and her canine teeth is visible. She's slender, and her nails was long. Her hair goes up to her shoulders and has the color of raven. The cool part was, her eyes was gleaming in deep red.

She smiled, now that was skeptical.

"I do enjoy people staring at me, but you shouldn't too much or I'll get flattered," she say, but no normal guy would not afford to look!

"I-I am not staring, you know," the words were an obvious lie, sadly she noticed it and chuckled.
